A trial of the Howe convertible tent
and in~trenching tools WIS made on Mon
day Mt Colchester, in the presence of Mai.
Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood, V. c., n a COM
mittee of officers. Tie inventor claims
that this tent, the pole and pegs of which
will form efficient intrenching tools, Is
easily carried, easily erected and always
al hand when required. 1t is made in
sections, of which each soldier carries an
equal portion, which, when packed for
transport, does not exceed sixteen inches
in length and six POUNDS in weight. The
tent is designed to accommodate any
number Of men, ten or twelve being IA
convenient number. The tent pole is an
iron tube, made in ten interchangeable
sections, each of which, when unscrewed,
forms the handle of an intrenching tool,
to which spade, pick or hammer can be
attached at will. One edge of the spade
Is curved and sharpened, forming n useful
Ratchet, while a sharp spike, used as u
pick, can be easily and securely fix to
one end of the tubular shaft or handle. A
second tube, tapering into a point at one
end, and closed at the other end with a
movable iron head, slides within the tubu-
lar handle, and may be employed to
lengthen IL, or may be detached and used
as q tent peg. In sandy soils this peg may
be passed through a hole in the center of
the spade, which is then buried, forming
q storm anchor.
Every part of the implement serves a
double purpose, and every probable con-
tingency seems to be provided for. in its
construction-eyen the tent vol are in
geniously made to act rs spanners. At
first sight the addition of any extra weight
to the burden Of the modern British in
fantry soldier-who is seldom n Hercules
would seem 10 be an argument against
the adODtiOn of Mr.. HOwp'S clever rom
%t-ivance; out it is commended that by dis
pensing with a blanket the soldier might
carry his tent section without adding to
the weight of his kit. He would then be
able to pitch his tent without waiting for
the arrival of the baggage wagons, which
are frequently many miles in rear of the
marching column.-London Court Jour

Burgess in a recent interview seemed to be
of the opinion that he can build a keel boat
TO beat any one that will be sent over from
the other side. He will probably have u
chance to try next year, when Mr.. Charles
Sweet has his new boat built. Mr.. Sweet is
the young Scotch lawyer who has resigned
his membership in the New York Yacht club
in order that he may send over a challenge
next year for the Americas cup. He has
been for years one of the most popular
yachtsmen in New York. HI is also a mem
her of the Royal Clyde Yacht club and the
Royal Thames Yacht club. He is a marine
lawyer, and will probably remain in Eng
Land hereafter, although he has been in
New York for the last eight or ten years, and
probably has more friends in America than
anywhere else. Mr.. George L. Watson will
in all probability design the yacht Mr.. Sweet
is to nave built.

Hideous In Every GuIse.

Whether it be the best known form,
chills and fever, or else bilious remittent,
double ague or ague cake, is that abom-
Unable disorder involving the liver, the
bowels and the kidneys known as malaria.
Every complaint classified under this
generic, through erroneous appellation, is
destructive of the nervous system, but is,
unhappily, not to be subdued, or even
checked, by the use of ordinary nervines,
~febrifuges or tones. There is, however.
prompt relief and ultimate cure to be
found in Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
foremost among the proprietary remedies
of America, and widely known in other
lands. Not only diseases born of miasma,
but rheumatic complaints, srperinduced
by exposure in bad weather, inherited or
incurred debility OF the kidneys or blad
der, dyspepsia and an irregular condi-
ton of bowels, are curable-nay, certain
to be be cured by this deservedly esteemed
and professionally sanctioned corrective.

One obstacle that has stood in the way
Of planting that exotic, the telegraph pole,
in Chinese soil has been the widespread
belief among the peasantry that the
strange whispering wires they support
when strung along near graveyards exert
a baleful influence upon the long sleep OF
their revered ancestors. AS nearly every
hilltop in China is crowned by the tombs
Of lamented forefathers, it has been very
difficult to select routes for telegraph
lines where the wires were not likely to
fall a prey to the popular prejudice against
them. 1t is noteworthy that the great
telegraph line which is to connect Pekin
with Europe will take a short cut to the
Cobb desert, and will pass through less
han 800 miles of inhabited country in the
300 miles to Kiachta, where it will join
the Russian lines.-New York Sun.

Mrs. Black threw her whole soul into the

papers for securing an appeal to the supreme

Tucker, former congressman from Virginia
and chairman of the house judiciary commit
tee in the Forty-ninth congress, is assistant
counsel and will probably argue the appeal.
Gen. Roger A. Pryor is consulting counsel,
and the papers were finished at his office on
the 18th. Their application is for a writ of
error, on the ground that the Anarchists,
while on trial, were denied some rights guar
anteed by the national constitution; but they
also base some hope on newly discovered evil
dence. Among other things it is alleged that
the bomb which killed the Chicago police
mel was actually thrown by a Pinkerton de-
tective. OF course so grave a charge could
only be accepted on the most positive evil
dence.

made the course in the fastest time it was
ever sailed over, in thirty-four hours and

A NOTED CRIMINAL.

The Successful Forger Who Has just
Been Released from Prison.
William Z. Brockway, bond thief and
forger, is free again Thirty years ago, when
a man of middle age, Brockway was appren-
ticed to a printer in New Haven, Conn.,, who
sent him to Yale college, where he became pro-
fcient in the art of electro chemistry, and the
knowledge there acquired was turned to ac-
count later by Brockway and his employer.
His employer did all the printing for the New
Haven bank, and tho directors were in the
habit of bringing their plates over and watch
ing them while the impressions were being
made. While they were thus engaged one
day tho printer called them aside for a
moment, and Brockway secured a
copy Of the plate in soft metal;
s1O0,OO worth of IS bills was worked off,
and Brockway, who was an expert penman,

While in PRISON Brockway made the ac-
quaintance of DR.. Stonely, whose sentence
expired while he was still u convict. After
DroclSway was released he met Stonely in
New York, and told such a pitiful tale that
Stonely invited him to his house in Report.
While a guest at DR.. Stonely's Brockway
n his confederates counterfeited a IS note
of a New Jersey bank, and the money which
he obtained enabled him to carry out his pet
scheme, which was clipping with Mrs. Stonefy.
When the doctor found it out he was of course
enraged, and followed B~rockway, but was
caught trying to pass the IS notes that he
had received from Brockway. He was ar
rested, tried and sentenced to serve five years.
This left everything clear for ~Brockway.
When the war broke out and the government
began to issue bonds, Brociway got posses
sion of lead impressions of all the principa
securities of the United States, and he an.
10 confedcrates succeeded in passing $4,000
worth of 80 bonds upon Jay Cooke 81 Co. and
other bankers. The engraving of these
bonds was SO well lone az to deceive the
United States treasury officials, who re-
deemed them as genuine, but m investigation
was called, when duplication of numbers
was discovered. B~rockway was arrested, but
got loose on II technicality. He finally
turned his attention to railroad bonds, and
it was for forging bonds of the Morris and
Essex railroad that he has just served his
term OF five years, which was shortened by
his good behavior

The little-bird swings on a bough by the window
And chirps to her young in the nest,
And the butterly's wings
Are the daintiest things,
Boy Bluel Boy Blue!
For he's dressed himself all in his best.
The little brown partridge, so brisk and SO salcy,
Calls out TO his neighbor, Bob White"
And his poor little mate,
Who is sleeping too late,
Boy Blue! Boy Blue
Answers, Peas are not ripe-no, not gutter
Why, even the leaves in the sunlight are dancing
And loud is the woodpecker's tap;
He shakes his small head
A the wee one In bed,
Boy Blue! Boy Bluel
At the lazy boy taking his nap,
The roses are waiting, the lille are waiting,
SO fresh from their bath in the dew;
Then open your eyes
To the light of the skies,
Boy Blue! Boy Bluel
For tho whole world is waiting for you.
